Karua: Reject Hague suspects in the polls

By Renson Mnyawezi

Narc-Kenya presidential hopeful Martha Karua has reiterated her commitment to fight corruption and impunity.

She warned Kenyans against electing corrupt and leaders facing criminal cases at The Hague, saying by doing so they would be perpetuating impunity.  William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta of the Jubilee Alliance are facing crimes against humanity charges at the International Criminal Court.

The former Constitutional Affairs minister said some of the Jubilee Alliance members couldn’t lead because they have a pending case at the International Criminal Court and Kenyans should reject them at the ballot.

While dismissing other presidential candidates as incompetent, Karua claimed she was the only capable presidential aspirant.

“Corruption is still deep rooted.  The country needs leaders who will aggressively tackle the menace. I’m the only presidential candidate who has the medicine of corruption and impunity. My fight against corruption speaks for itself. Just elect me and you’ll see for how I would deal with the vice,” Karua said in Taita-Taveta County.
